T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. EATON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sprayers, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to asprayer, and more particularly to a device simulative of a double acting pump comprising juxta-positioned barrels, pistons arranged to operate within such barrels, and an intermediate tube having communication with one of the barrels and means for spreading the ets at their delivery.

The invention consists of a double-acting pump embodying parallel barrels, connected pistons, a tank, and a tube having connection with one of the barrels, the parts being of such construction and arrangement as to assure a continuous discharge when the device is in operation.

The invention consists of the novel features, details of construction, andv combination of parts which will be hereinafter more fully set forth, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing:Figure 1 is a perspective view of a double acting pump embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the device comprises barrels. 1 and 2 which have a parallel arrangement and are disposed in close relation. Pistons 3 and 4 are arranged -to operate in the respective barrels, and

their rods are connected to a cross piece 5 which constitutes a handle whereby both pistons are simultaneously operated, the one is formed with an aperture 8 to permit the discharge of the contents from the said barrel on movement of the piston therein in one direction.

A tank 9 is located beneath the barrels 1 and 2, and is connected thereto in any suitable manner, one end of the tank being extended a distance beyond the ends of the barrels, and rising from the extended end of the said tank are two jet tubes 10 and 11, respectively, the tube 10 being designed to terminate next to an opening 12 in the barrel 1, while the tube 11 terminates next to the aperture in the tube 8 so that contents from the tank 9 can issue from the tubes across the path of the apertures in the respective barrel and tube for the distribution of such contents.

In the operation of the device the pistons move simultaneously in the same direction, one of the pistons drawing a charge into one of the barrels, and the other piston at the same time expelling the charge previously drawn into the other barrel. The pistons have an alternate action with the result that a continuous discharge is produced.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it is thought that the construction and manner of operation of the device will be clearly understood.

What is claimed is:-

In a device of the character described, in combination a pair of barrels, a tank upon which said barrels are mounted, said tank projecting in advance of said barrels, a liquid discharge tube projecting radially from said barrel and communicating therewith, a longitudinally disposed tube integrally formed upon one of said barrels and having its axis disposed between said barrels, the outer end of said tubes being adjacent each other and ported, a second liquid discharge tube alongside the first named tube and coextensive therewith disposed opposite one of said barrels, the said barrel having a discharge port directly adjacent the outlet of said second liquid discharge tube, a separate piston operating in each barrel, a pair of piston rods passing through said barrels and secured to said pistons, a handle connecting said rods exteriorly of said barrels, the bar rel having said port being formed at its end In testimony whereof I aflix my signature opposite to said plort with an air inlect openin presence of ,two witnesses.
